Dear customer
Congratulations on your purchase of the DAC202 D/A Converter and
welcome to the family of Weiss equipment owners!
The DAC202 is the result of an intensive research and development process.
Research was conducted both in analog and digital circuit design, as well as
in signal processing algorithm specification.
On the following pages I will introduce you to our views on high quality
audio processing. These include fundamental digital and analog audio
concepts and the DAC202 converter.
I wish you a long-lasting relationship with your DAC202.
